    Is Your “Tension Headache” Just Tension… or a Hidden Migraine Unlock in Your Neck?

    Do your headaches build throughout the day—then sometimes turn into a migraine? In this episode of the Headache Doctor Podcast, Dr. Taves explains why tension headaches and migraines may not be two completely separate problems. A band-like headache, neck tightness, and shoulder tension can build over time, while a more irritated joint in the upper neck may create a sharper, one-sided migraine pattern. Rather than treating one as a muscle problem and the other as a neurological problem, Dr. Taves looks at both through one unified lens: the mechanics of the neck, shoulders, and jaw. You’ll learn: Why tension headaches often worsen throughout the dayHow prolonged sitting and forward posture load the neck and shouldersWhy a broad, band-like headache feels different from a one-sided migraineHow both patterns may still come from related mechanical problemsPractical ways to reduce tension, move more, and build resiliencePlus, in this week’s Ask the Headache Doctor segment, Dr. Taves answers questions about headaches after sitting through several classes, migraines that continue despite healthy lifestyle changes, and being told migraines are “all stress.” 👉 Get your questions about tension headaches, migraines, neck tension, and finding the root cause answered inside our FREE Virtual Headache & Migraine Community: https://www.skool.com/headache-freedom/about 👉 Novera: Headache Center

    The Real Root Cause of Migraines: Why Your Neck Might Be the Missing Piece

    Is migraine really a neurological disease—or could your neck be the missing piece? In this episode of the Headache Doctor Podcast, Dr. Taves challenges one of the most common beliefs about migraines. He explains why a migraine diagnosis is based on symptoms—not necessarily the underlying cause—and why many people continue searching for answers after normal MRIs, CT scans, and medications. You'll learn how the neck, jaw, and shoulders can send pain into the same pathways that process migraine symptoms, why imaging often misses the real problem, and a simple self-assessment you can do at home to see whether your neck may be contributing to your headaches. You'll learn: Why migraine is a diagnosis based on symptomsWhat MRIs and CT scans are actually designed to rule outHow the trigeminal nerve processes head and facial painWhy neck dysfunction can create migraine-like symptomsWhy medications manage symptoms but don't identify the sourceFour simple ways to assess whether your neck may be involvedIf you've been told your scans are normal but you're still living with chronic migraines, this episode may change the way you think about what's really causing your symptoms. 👉 Get your questions about migraines, neck-related headaches, and finding the root cause answered inside our Free Virtual Headache & Migraine Community: https://www.skool.com/headache-freedom/about 👉 Novera: Headache Center
